On arrival our room was not made up with 2 beds so we had to wait an extra half an hour for it to be done (we arrived at 6pm). My mother is 79 years of age and was tired. Neither of us slept through the night either as there was no air conditioning and had to leave the window open. The bar next door was loud all night. Worst night’s stay ever and the hotel is not cheap. The hotel needs a serious upgrade. The staff were nice though so I don’t blame them!

Lovely comfortable hotel with parking right in town centre. All hotels now charge for their parking so I expected this. Staff were very friendly and yet professional. Room very comfortable and breakfast was excellent.

Hotel was ok, location was shockingly bad
Hotel was nice, but the location was shocking. Upon arrival at 4pm on Wednesday, we were greeted with a group of topless guys all drinking in groups at the entrance of the car park. This only got worse later in the day when the group got bigger. Lots of anti social behaviour including someone being chased with a knife outside just past midnight resulting in a police attendance and chase. All in all would not stay in Taunton again.

Book with caution! Be aware that there is a nightclub called mamba next to the hotel. Wednesday and Thursday they are open till 2 AM Friday and Saturday till 3:30 AM. We stayed at the hotel mid May Saturday night and the music was extremely loud. It was a heavy techno beat that literally shook the room. We tried to sleep with earplugs, but to no avail. I gave the hotel overall three stars, but that might be generous.

So we booked a double room - we were given a room with the smallest double bed I have ever seen and with one chair. I asked to change. They offered a larger room which must have last been decorated circa 1990. They couldn’t do any better because we’d booked through Expedia they said. What??? Why does a hotel with empty rooms give you a bad room? To punish you for not booking with them? It was v poor service, whatever the reason . . .

We had such a wonderful stay at the castle hotel. The only feedback was the receptionist on check out wasn’t as friendly as the lady that had checked us in. She appeared to be confused with the communication around breakfast timings. Over all it was a wonderful stay, in the perfect location and it’s such a beautiful hotel

Special Christmas
Christmas is always particularly special at the Castle with staff having made a very special effort to make it even more special than usual. It makes an excellent place to stay, right in the middle of Taunton, for shopping with those special independent traders you won’t find elsewhere.
